i knew it was coming soon but didnt know where i would be. the day started by flying to ft lauderdale executive airport as a flight of three RV6's. great vfr conditions, sebring was fogged in so fxe was the alternate. ron and bob are both fairly new to my airport and ron has latched on as my wingman and doing a great job tagging along whenever he can join in. i guess i make a good flight leader. a big feast at the airport restaurant and it was time to break up the party. ron split for work ( in his RV) and bob flew wing for the departure. after clearing fxe airspace bob broke off for home and i headed up to lakeland for a Seaplane Pilots Association meeting and more food. ugg. the wx at lakeland was reporting broken to overcast so i picked up a ifr enroute and was cruising along at 4,000' in and out of the tops when i checked the hobbs. 3,999.8. wow. it started to hit me. 12 minutes to contemplate all the miles and places and people and food and blue skys and clouds and emotions......... it was fantastic.
4,000 hours and counting. thanks vans for a great design, thanks lee ray for building a plane that became mine. it was built in stuart yacht and country club, it came to stuart airport for final assembly when i became interested in these RV aircraft in 1999. my friends told me about a new yet to be flow RV. i saw it, i bought it, and the rest is history. it has been quit a ride!!! i am ready for the next 1,000 hours. i hope this motivates you to finish up or buy a RV and join in. like i said, ' it has been quit a ride". i have some ideas for the exterior of my RV to celebrate the 4,000 hours of flying fun. more to come...........
